   Mr. cdp@uiucdcsb, I am afraid you are confusing democracy with
virginity. There can be "little" or "much" democracy, otherwise our
life would be hopeless.  A society cannot jump overnight from
dictatorship to democracy, hence something else has to exist in
between.
   Turkey is less democratic than U.S., but moving toward the latter.
   Nicaragua is more democratic than U.S.S.R. but also moving toward
the latter.
